Introduction of the Natural Gas

At SLIC, we create processes for a sustainable future. As part of our continuous efforts in achieving our sustainable goals, we are glad to announce the successful transformation of our KILNs to use the new state-of-the-art energy source that is the natural gas instead of crude oil fuel. This is part of SLIC’s determined and consistent focus in applying clean energy for a sustainable environment. Those are few of the advantages:

Advantages on the products:

• Product content of sulfur is decreased to minimum.
• Product is clean and may not contain any soot, ash or heavy petroleum content.
• Premium and consistent quality as a result of constant calorific value with no variations.
• The current Lime product is already classified as a food grade, and with the use of clean energy we obtain better purity results.

Advantages on Environment:

• Natural gas eliminates the need for an underground storage tank–eliminating the threat of oil soil contamination
• Natural gas is non-toxic. If inhaled in small amounts natural gas is not poisonous or harmful to humans.
• The combustion process for natural gas is almost perfect, very few byproducts are emitted into the atmosphere as:
  • Zero emittance of Sulfur oxides SO, SOX
  • Less emitted CO2 by 35% than it is with Diesel
  • Less emittance of NOX
  • No unpleasant soot, ash, or odors
